THE POWER OF LOVE

READ:

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
-1 John 4:10

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Numbers 15-16
Mark 6:1-29

Books on leadership often appear on best-seller lists. Most of them tell how to become a powerful and effective leader. But Henri Nouwen's book, In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership, is written from a different perspective. The former university professor who spent many years serving in a community of developmentally disabled adult says: "The question is not: How many people take you seriously How much are you going to accomplish? Can you show some results? But: Are you in love with Jesus?...In our world of loneliness and despair, there is an enormous need for men and women who know the heart of God, a heart that forgives, that cares, that reaches out and wants to heal."
John wrote, "In this the love of God was manifested towards us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the [atoning sacrifice] for our sins" (1 John 4:9-10).
"The Christian leader of the future," writes Nouwen, "is the one who truly knows the heart of God as it has become fleshin Jesus." In Him, we discover and experience God's unconditional, unlimited love. - David MacCasland
Father, please show the wonder of Your great love through me to others today so that they might know they need not walk through life alone. Let my heart personally experience and display Your care.

God's love in our heart gives us a heart for others.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
